Rockchucker, saving for a Lee Turret.
Lyman turret

1. Lee hand press
2. Lyman Spartan
3. Rock Chucker
4. Lee Classic Cast Turret
I find that I'm using the turret more than all the others combine, it is a more universal press than any other.
Skeet1
The Blue One, and its not a Dillon.
One of almost everything, and duplicates of others. No Lee however. 150 presses or so, too many to post pictures of.

Redding - the type that the handle swings over the top
5 dillons, 2 hornadys, lyman, lee, mec and an rcbs
Pressman, with a collection like that, have you ever thought of doing a photo museum? That would be some contribution. You could limit to the unusual and antique to maybe whittle down the number.
:coffeecom An RCBS Rockchucker (old model), an RCBS A4 Big Max, and a VersaMEC 700 shotshell press.
Two Lee Pro 1000's
One Lee Classic Turret
One Lee Reloader (the cheapie $30 single-stage)
One Pro 1000 does .38 Special and .357 Magnum. Eventually I'll also use it for 9mm (same primer size). This press has about 10,000 rounds on its clock.
The other Pro 1000 does .44 Spl/Mag and .45 Long Colt (same shell plate, #11). This press has at least 2,000 rounds under its belt.
The Classic Turret did a lot of .38 Spl and .45 LC before I went progressive, and I still use it for that purpose to try smaller runs of experimental loads. But its real purpose is down the road, when I start reloading deer rifle rounds. This press could survive a nuclear blast, I think.
The $30 Lee Reloader Press is used for boolit sizing, universal decapping, and *all* initial load development. This is also the press that I started with before I went Turret and Progressive.
If I had to pick *one* and only *one*, it'd be the Lee Classic Turret for its amazing versatility. Fortunately, though, I don't have to do that. :-)

Dillon 650 550 and an old RCBS single stage I bought at the local gun shop used 20 years ago best 15 bucks ever spent.
I started out with the old Challenger Anniv. Kit 15 years ago. Promptly broke the alum. toggle but was able to turn them in a way to still be able to use it. (I was just a kid and broke) I reloaded with it on and off for the next 13 years. Then bought a LNL AP & LNL single, and I now am going to use the Challenger for the Lee sizing kit I've ordered. Really like the Hornady equipment.
I have A RCBS Jr press, a RockChucker, A C&H Model 444 (best Press I own), And a very old Redding T-7 Press, lastly a old Herters heavy duty model.
The Model 444 gets used the most.

Lee 3 holer
RCBS rockchucker for all the rifle stuff
and dillon 550 for the handguns
Forster Co-ax and rockchucker, but i think the Co-ax is the best press built.
Started out with the RCBS jr (given to a friend)- then Dillon RL-300 - then Bonanza co-ax - then added Lee 3 hole turret, then Huntington W handpress, then Dillon 450 - last purchase was a CH 444 H press (given to a friend ) on the look out for Dillon 550b for a good price.
